along the video signal. This allows the soundbar to 
receive multi-channel encoded material. 
Depending on your number of sources, the TV may 
be used for switching some sources while the prima-
ry source devices may be directly connected to the 
soundbar for guaranteed multi-channel sound. The 
soundbar’s HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) allows 
video to pass from the soundbar to the television and 
audio to pass from the television to the soundbar on 
the same HDMI cable. If you’re using your television 
as the source, choose the soundbar’s HDMI ARC input 
to hear any sounds originating from your television. 
Please note, not all telvisions are equipped with HDMI 
Audio Return Channel technology.
A few important points to remember when connecting 
your soundbar:
•   HDMI or digital optical will provide the highest 
audio fidelity when connecting to the soundbar.
•   If your soundbar is not producing sound or 
surround sound from your Blu-ray player, DVD 
player, or other multi-channel audio capable 
source, you may need to set the player’s digital 
audio output to “Bitstream” (also called “Raw”, 
“Direct Digital”, or “High Bit Rate”). If “PCM” is 
selected you’ll lose the multi-channel encoded 
sound. Some players only require you to turn 
PCM off to configure for multi-channel encoded 
sound. Please refer to your player’s manual.
•   In a setup where HDMI is used to connect your 
audio/video source component(s) directly to your 
television, you will likely need to run an additional 
digital optical cable between the source compo-
nent and your soundbar. This extra connection will 
allow for multi-channel encoded audio to reach the 
soundbar. Many televisions that receive audio/
video source materials via HDMI do not pass 
multi-channel encoding when the audio is passed 
back out of the televisions digital optical output. 
Instead, televisions often pass a 2-channel mix of 
the sound, stripping out center, surround and sub-
woofer channels from the mix. This is not true for all 
televisions manufactured today, but we have found 
the many television on the market work this way. 
Using an HDMI connection between the television 
and soundbar will maximize the potential of suc-
cessfully passing a multi-channel encoded audio 
signal from the television to the soundbar.
•   Audio-only sources capable of only stereo output 
(such a portable media player docks or CD play-
er) will often connect directly to the soundbar via 
the analog input.
NETWORK CONNECTION
To stream audio to your soundbar via DTS Play-Fi or 
Apple AirPlay, a LAN (local area network) connec-
tion is required. This connection can be established 
using Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Refer to the DTS Play-Fi sec-
tion of this manual for setup and usage details.
SUBWOOFER CONNECTION
You may choose to employ a separate subwoofer 
to reproduce the LFE (low frequency effects) chan-
nel information in multi-channel recordings and/
or reinforce bass performance of stereo recordings. 
Any aftermarket home theater subwoofer can be 
connected via the soundbar’s “LFE Out” RCA con-
nection. We, of course, recommend using a superb 
MartinLogan subwoofer.
Additionally, this soundbar integrates a built-in 
subwoofer wireless transmitter and includes a sub-
woofer wireless receiver to simplify the connection 
and placement of a subwoofer within your room.
No Subwoofer
For systems not using a separate subwoofer, 
use the soundbar’s menu system and choose 
“Subwoofer > No Sub”. This sets the soundbar to 
reproduce the entire frequency range when play-
ing content.
